It had been a normal day for everyone. People were going about their own business, some on the station, some on Midgard, some in Asgard... you get my drift. But they would not be separated for long. Reunions that were never meant started to happen.

	It lay heavy on Brenna's heart too. She had imaged her parents' final struggle many times. Mostly, it had ended in a glorious welcome in Valhalla! Reunion with old friends she barely remembered. It was one of the reasons she went down the same path so she could meet them again. "Then how are you here? Did he bring you here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The same way you are. He did not bring me here, I learned of his reasons for keeping me and... It did not end well for him when I was strong enough." But that had been at least one hundred years after her death. She didn't know how to mention that. How did she tell her daughter that she was over a thousand years old?

	Brenna had stopped completely now and stared at the other red head. "I look as old as you..." She shook her head. She might even look older. Her 'mother' looked groomed like a fine lady. How could she believe that it was her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"How old are you? I have heard a few say that I have aged well." Very well, considering. The blood of the god of Thunder coursed through her veins, and pinkened her cheeks. Nothing about her would currently give away her not quite alive state.

Something came to her mind, something that she had not quite forgot, as it was impossible to, but Bryn turned her back to her daughter and lifted the back of her shirt just a little, the names of every one of her little ones drawn along her spine in black inked tattoos. "Do you remember me getting this last one? Magnus had you and Astrid sit on my shoulders, as if I would get up, and told you to hold me very very still. Instead you were quick to pet me, and tell me it would be okay really soon."

	That comment made Brenna stare. It crumbled parts of her wall and disbelief. "Yes, I remember." She had no strength for anything else. Her emotions were causing too much of a turmoil. Could this be real? Could this woman be her mother? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bryn turned back around to face her. "The other boys were outside, doing boy things, Floki was in his bed. This is only something you, me and your sister would remember. You told me how brave I was when it was all over, because I had not screamed once. And that is why you are Brenna the Brave, to me." And that she fought a disease that was eating her from the inside. She had to sniff hard to keep from losing grip of her own emotions. "Because I think if I had, even then, you would have taken on your father."

	Yes. She remembered. It was painful because she so desperately wanted to go back to that time. But she couldn't. "If you are my mother, then the gods must have cursed us... was that really Loki?" her questions were desperate. She tried to make sense of something that made none.

	"Not cursed. Decided it was not our time yet. That was really Loki." After all if they were here with the gods, where the gods cursed as well? Or she hoped those where her daughters line of thoughts. "Thor will come in time." Bryn promised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did they save us? The gods intervened?" she asked. But her heart was heavy. The disrespect she had shown the god earlier was shameful. How could she ever make it up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn hesitated, for just a second. Surely it was, one way or another, the gods that saved them both. With a soft breath she nodded. "I believe so. They have not said so, yes. I think it was them." Perhaps in some small way even Loki and Thor were. Without them realizing it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Can they bring us back then?" Could they bring her to Valhalla? Her heart was set on it. Maybe she did not deserve it anymore but she had to fight. Who was she if she would not fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Would you ask one of the gods to return you after he's gone through the trouble of bringing you here? So you can fight?" Her illness was going to be some battle. Perhaps the toughest that she, or Bryn had ever faced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She averted her eyes at the question. "Yes." Brenna had done that all her life. "This has not changed my state." Her breathing was still heavy. She was no fool. The curse had not been lifted. "I do not want a coward's death." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your state is even a trial for the gods. You were brought here to fight your state. With help. It will not be easy. In fact there will be many days were you don't wish to carry on, but there is an end, where it will be no more." She hoped. She had to have hope. Hadn't Loki had he? (Reply to this) (Parent)
